Luckily I caught up with a couple buddies at crane creek before they went out, I sent them to Catawba where they didn't catch anything but didn't need to be rescued.
It wouldn't have done any good to close the park, we drove from Maumee bay to the Sandusky bay and there was people leaving from everywhere along there. It would have took the National Guard, homeland security and all the tough guy sheriffs in the land to stop them! image
The words out on the easy pickins and it sure makes people brave.
When we got there in the morning, Bessie was already cranked sideways from the SSW, if you don't understand what that means, you shouldn't be on the ice without an airboat or something that will float across a crack of water.
I'm sure glad I retired from ice ice fishing....come on spring!
